Sql Server 2012 Error: Fail_Page_Allocation 1

I have been having some series issues with my webserver machine running MS SQL Server 2012 64-Bit Standard. I keep getting this error:

02/23/2013 21:49:17,spid54,Unknown,There is insufficient system memory in resource pool 'internal' to run this query.
02/23/2013 21:49:17,spid54,Unknown,Error: 701 Severity: 17 State: 130.

which when I read the MS SQL log file, this issue always starts with this entry:

02/23/2013 21:49:16,spid57,Unknown,Failed allocate pages: FAIL_PAGE_ALLOCATION 1

System Specs: Windows Server 2008 R2 x64, 5GB RAM, 2 x Intel Xeon Dual-Core

Approximately every 5 days, SQL Server crashes due to this memory error. I have tried upgrading to Cumulative Update 5 which supposedly includes a hotfix for this memory error. I've tried setting the max memory to 2600mb (because this machine is also my webserver). I can't figure out what is causing this error or why MS SQL won't reset itself if the error occurs -- it will literally keep trying to run queries until the server's memory is maxed out. Any ideas would be wonderful.

When ran into error 701, check your SQL log(Object explorer > Management > Sql server log), you should find these kind of thing:

2014-01-14 14:19:42.25 spid97
CACHESTORE_SQLCP (Total)
VM Reserved = 0 KB
......
SinglePage Allocator = xxx KB
Multipage Allocator = 0 KB ......

Above the log pasted by you. 701 log is caused when page is applied for. If xxx is enough huge, CACHESTORE_SQLCP, this Memory Clerk tied up too much. You should check your client. SQL Server cannot resolve this kind of error. You should improve the behavior of your application.

Have a try SqlDiag, path: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Binn\Sqldiag.exe
